Netfirms Green - Reducing our Environmental Footprint

At Netfirms we realize the impact our business has on the environment and we're committed to making it better. That's why Netfirms are bringing our Netfirms Green program to life.

Netfirms considered many popular options, including purchasing green energy credits, but Netfirms Green takes a different approach to environmental responsibility. Netfirms Green is based on a philosophy of reduction in every aspect of Netfirms's business.

Netfirms are reducing energy consumption, landfill contributions, fuel emissions, and chemical usage in our data centers and offices.

This is how Netfirms have turned Netfirms's philosophy into action:

Reducing energy consumption in our data centers

* Netfirms recently converted our data centers from Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC) power and we've already reduced our energy consumption by 25%. By the end of 2007, we aim to reduce our energy consumption by more than 45%.
* Direct DC deployments provide the highest levels of efficiency, yielding significant power savings for the data center.

Reducing unnecessary energy usage in our corporate offices

* Netfirms's corporate office is a Certified Go Green Building by the national BOMA Go Green Environmental Certification program. Netfirms received certification for conserving energy by minimizing decorative lighting and raising the air temperature in the building.

Reducing the number of computers and electronics we contribute to landfill sites

* At Netfirms, we know that computers and electronic equipment contain toxic substances that make their way into our environment when disposed of in landfill sites - that's why we recycle all of our obsolete computer and electronic components.

Reducing fuel emissions in the environment

* Netfirms make sure it's convenient for our employees to ride public transit to work. Our corporate office is located in the city core with a subway stop in the building.

Reducing toxic chemicals in the environment

* Many cleaning products are made of harmful toxins that pollute the environment so we use organic cleaning products and choose to work with companies that also strive to keep harmful toxins out of the environment.
